Your job is to explore one of these amazing landforms from around Australia.

 

You’ll need to research

 

- where in Australia it is

 - what makes it special or unique

- how it was formed

- the people, animals and plants that live there

- any interesting or amazing facts about the landform that you’d like to share

 

You’ll be working by yourself and will need to ensure that all of your notes about your landform are hand-written and then added to your portfolio.

 

We’ve included some websites below to help you get started but we also expect you to find some of your own.

Remember to record these websites as a part of your notes so that they can be checked later…

 

Good luck!
